Byte Optimizer

Work directly with our engineers.

Our products cover a lot of ground on their own. When you need judgment, depth or something built specifically for you, Byte Optimizer works with your team directly: security testing, compliance and privacy, and custom technology.

  • Security & penetration testing

    Manual penetration testing and security assessments for web applications, APIs, mobile apps and networks, for when automated tools are not enough.

    • Web application and API testing
    • Mobile and network testing
    • Business-logic flaws and vulnerability chaining
    • Proof-of-concept, retest and remediation sign-off
  • Compliance & privacy

    SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR readiness, privacy assessments and policy work: where you stand, what is missing, and how to prove it.

    • Gap analysis and readiness roadmaps
    • Privacy assessments and privacy policy analysis
    • Controls, policies and remediation guidance
    • Audit preparation and support
  • Custom technology

    Custom software, APIs, integrations, automation and security tooling, built when an existing product is not the right fit.

    • Internal applications and custom SaaS
    • APIs, integrations and automation
    • Security tooling and developer tools
    • Prototypes and proofs of concept

How an engagement runs.

The same shape for a two-day pentest or a three-month compliance program. You know the scope and price before anything starts.

  1. Conversation

    You tell us the problem. An engineer replies within one business day, and a mutual NDA can come first.

  2. Scope and fixed quote

    A written proposal with scope, method, deliverables, timeline and a fixed price. No obligation.

  3. Work, in the open

    Agreements, messages, status and files run through our client portal, so you always know where things stand.

  4. Deliver and verify

    Reports, policies or software are delivered, then retested or handed over, depending on the work.

Working with us.

What is the difference between a vulnerability scan and a penetration test?

A vulnerability scan, such as one run with OnScanner, is automated and repeatable: it finds known issues quickly and broadly. A penetration test is a manual, time-boxed engagement where a human tester chains weaknesses together to prove real-world impact. Most teams need both: automation for breadth, people for depth.

Do I need a penetration test for SOC 2 or ISO 27001?

A penetration test is not strictly mandatory for a SOC 2 report, but most auditors and enterprise customers expect one as evidence that your security controls work. ISO 27001 similarly expects technical testing of controls. Running the pentest and the compliance program together means the evidence maps directly to your controls, with no duplicated effort.

Can you build something custom instead?

Yes. When the right answer is software rather than a report, we design and build it: internal tools, APIs, integrations, security automation or a full application. See Custom technology for how those projects run.

How fast can you start, and what do I get?

Most engagements scope within a few days. Security testing delivers an executive summary, a technical report with remediation, proof-of-exploit for critical findings and a retest. Compliance work delivers a gap analysis, a dated roadmap, policies and audit support. Custom projects start with a written scope and a fixed or phased price.

A product question, a security test, a compliance deadline or something that needs building. An engineer reads every message and replies within one business day.
